Hello to you all,

I have a question regarding the second stage from Córdoba towards Merida.

For various reasons, we do not plan to sleep in Villaharta. We have found that Espiel could make it.

From El Vacar, where we would leave the Camino for a few kms, we would walk towards Espiel, following Embalse Puerto Nuevo banks or close to them. We can easily track our way on Google Earth.
This path is parallel to a train track.
My point is : As we would follow the train track, twice in a small distance, we'd have to walk on train bridges to avoid a "detour" back to the motorway.

Have you ever walked that path and cross those two bridges ? Have you any idea of the frequency of the trafic on this semi-abandonned track ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Have you any idea of the frequency of the trafic on this semi-abandonned track ?

No passenger trains on those tracks. There are still some cargo trains that use the tracks. Mainly, to serve coal to a termal power station.

P.S.: I think that walking on the tracks is forbidden.
 
Castilian, i wish to thank you for your answer.

I think that we shall forget this idea and walk the Camino till Villaharta.

By the way, i wish to mention that, for those who want to sleep in El Cruce hostal in Villaharta, the email adress to contact is "nocruce@gmail.com". Other adresses do not work at all nor Booking.com.
I booked successfully on that email adress.

Un saludo a todas y todos !

Hello fellow pilgrims. I will start walking the Camino Mozárabe from Almería on 5th April 2024 and just wonder whether there is anybody else there around that date with the same objective?
